Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is a rich and spacious practice for everybody. It’s an inclusive, wholesome practice we share together, using a chair and other supportive props.

In each session we learn to bring each posture to the body, rather than the body to the posture. We take time to find stability, so you can grow in strength and confidence and find freedom and joy in movement.

Who it’s for

Chair Yoga is pregnancy and injury friendly. It’s great if you’re starting to establish a yoga practice. It’s equally welcome if you have a strong, long-standing practice and would like permission to settle into more subtle spaces.

It’s a good choice if getting up and down from the floor is difficult, or if you need extra support because of injury, chronic pain or mobility issues.

The benefits of Chair yoga

• Strength and balance. Standing poses such as the Warrior series build strength in the legs and core, with the chair there for support.
• Flexibility and mobility. Seated twists, forward folds and side bends stretch and lengthen the spine.
• A calmer mind. Focusing on the breath and the present moment reduces stress and anxiety and lifts your mood.
• Connection. A supportive, welcoming group to practise with.

For teachers, we also run a Chair Yoga CPD.
